That bike may travel 19 states just to cross 6 before it's done and there's more than a fair chance of damage or total loss when the delaying game get's started and we both know it . We don't have all the story so we don't know if the guy was given a delivery date or not .

Been at this game a long time guys I've bought , sold & moved bikes all over this country & to Europe I made my statement from experience .
Fair enough, all we really know is our own experiences. Like you said, who knows what route that bike will take to get to him.

You really do get what you pay for. Not saying that the less expensive companies are no good, but in all my research on this forum, the CVO Harley forum, and the advice from the individual/dealer I bought my new (to me) bike from, one company kept coming back to the top:

This is like all the stories I have ever heard about shipping bikes.

I gotta say, I've only had one experience with shipping a bike and it was these guys. No complaints whatsoever, and they delivered it to my door. Don't think they do that anymore, but it was a great experience.

I've shipped my Bike twice & had great experience both times. Key board Motorcycle shipping did everything they said they would.
If you chose a shipper just on price, it's not that they want to screw you, but that they probably can't make money unless they have a full load. You pay more for guaranteed delivery, but for me its worth it.

That right there is the key , knowing what your getting into and not going cheap . After I started doing the air freight thing I made out bike would get to where ever I was within a day or two and it was cost competitive with top end trucking outfits . Just don't think you could send a full boat bagger that intact .

uship? I mean sometimes price matters in motorcycle shipping. I posted my bike on uship and I had offers like 450-500 form my bike to get transported from NC to CA. Folks called me nuts when I payed to All Coasts Transport 750 for the same shipping. At least the bike arrived unscratched, and on time.
